The material could someday be used in flexible semiconductors, tear-resistant textiles, bioengineering scaffolds, and more.

A team of MIT researchers developed a new fabrication method that allowed to make existing materials strong but stretchy.

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

Engineers have fabricated a metamaterial that is not only strong but also stretchy. Their new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy ...

In metamaterials design, the name of the game has long been "stronger is better." Metamaterials are synthetic materials with ...
